Re: [mad-dev] Rewinding with the high-level API

Right now I'm keeping a frame index, which is constantly updated, because that's all I need (mpg123 seeks only by frames, so mpg321 will do the same.) The problem isn't really that I need to be able to create a frame listing: I have at least a reasonably accurate one. I need to be able to tell madlib to use the new buffer (i.e., the new starting point) in the middle of decoding, instead of re-starting the decoding process, and I can't figure out any way to do so.

That is a fairly popular question. See:

The real issue is keeping accumulated time stamps associated with your frame lists so you can accurately rewind the playing time as well in constant time.
